Materials we deal with
Gutters and downpipes
Older garages often have cement gutters and downpipes.
Corrugated sheets
Sheets are wrapped for disposal.
DIY and asbestos
Fragile roofs are a serious falls risk, as well as an asbestos risk, so stay off it.
A professional job comes with paperwork: a record that buyers, insurers and builders may want to see.
The process
We tape off the area and wet the sheets first, then unbolt each sheet and lower it without breaking it. We begin by confirming exactly what we’re doing, so there’s no confusion. Late-December sunset in Vale of Health is about 3:55pm, so winter roof jobs start early and finish in daylight.
- Send photos of the garage and the roof
- We check it’s asbestos cement
- We quote for the removal and disposal
- On the day we wet, unfix and lower the sheets whole
- The waste goes to a permitted site with paperwork
How to prepare
- Keep away from the material in the meantime
- Mention any parking restrictions
- Keep children and pets away on the day

Questions from Vale of Health
Could my house in Vale of Health contain asbestos?
Any home in Vale of Health built or refurbished before 2000 can contain asbestos, but only a test can confirm it. Garage roofs, Artex, floor tiles, soffits and flues are typical examples.
Do you work in Vale of Health despite London parking restrictions?
We do. Tell us about parking, permits and access so we can plan.
Do I get anything in writing afterwards?
Depending on the job, a report, results or a consignment note.
What does licensed work mean?
It covers the higher-risk materials: lagging, sprayed coatings and most asbestos insulating board. Only a contractor holding an HSE licence can do it.
Do you work in flats?
Yes, of course. For shared areas, ask the managing agent about the asbestos register.
Can the roof be overclad?
It’s possible on a sound roof, but preparation has its own risks. Don’t pressure-wash it first.
How long does it take to remove a garage roof?
Size, access and condition decide, though a single garage is generally quick once we are set up.
Should all asbestos be removed?
Not always: sound material that won’t be disturbed can often stay. Keep a record and check its condition.
- Survey or test first when it isn’t clear what a material is
- Work planned to the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012 and HSE guidance
- Paperwork for your records: reports, lab results and consignment notes
- Legal disposal at a permitted site, with a consignment note
